Can I ask you what´s the actually reason is for not taking a trade the day after a Hi/Lo of more than 150 points?
Another question that I have is regarding Thursday short days. Have you made a statistic how often they percentaged occur? Thanks for sharing.

After a rally up or down - the normal GFIs1 rule set is "out of order" - this is why a protection starts the day after.
If the rally is around 250 points (which happened last year) then a two day stop is active. In the long run you will
see the positive effect of that "no trading".
Short day is normally wednesday - with more than 90% occurences intraday. On Thursdays I have no preference.

Hello GFIs1,
Thank you very much for your posts and excellent results. For today, my stop was at 7638 in future dax . And this level has been touched on my CQG plateforme at 10h12 am. Have you put a stop at 30 or 33 points ? if 33 points, could you tell us in the morning, please ?

Hello GFIs1,
Thank you very much for your posts and excellent results. For today, my stop was at 7538 in future dax . And this level has been touched on my CQG plateforme at 10h12 am. Have you put a stop at 30 or 33 points ? if 33 points, could you tell us in the morning, please ?

Normally I am stating medium risk which means 30 points SL. As I started the trade - five points were seen in
the first seconds at 09:30 in the wrong direction. This alerted me and I had the SL moved to 33 points from the
entry point (rare exception).
I checked the volume at the high price of 7638 and I could see only 28 contracts dealed at this high price.
So for the lucky one the SL might not have been touched.
Hope this helps.

question off to this topic, do you have any experiance with broker in Europe where posible to trade FDAX ?

Thanks Lumir.

I am fine with Interactive Brokers - first it is a US company with enough capital - stocks at the US exchange
and a seat in Switzerland which is for quick questions during european hours very helpful.
But I am sure you will find a bunch of brokers in Central Europe to trade Dax futures, CFDs or options.
Just have a look at margin, commissions and spreads - comparing your chosen instrument with different brokers
will save you a lot of money.
